Last Sun­day, the mass­es who gath­ered in an­tic­i­pa­tion of see­ing their for­mer Groovy and Pow­er So­ca Monarch win­ner, Shur­wayne Win­ches­ter, per­form for both seg­ments of com­pe­ti­tion, in the se­mi-fi­nal round, were tak­en aback when they did not see him re­turn on stage fol­low­ing his per­for­mance of the 2010 hit, Mur­dah. Many spec­u­lat­ed. Many be­came anx­ious, wor­ried as to what could have led to his dis­ap­pear­ance.

Lit­tle did the mass­es re­alise that Win­ches­ter, who has copped both the Groovy and Pow­er Monarch ti­tles on mul­ti­ple oc­ca­sions, even cop­ping both in one year, was act­ing out of a sense of com­mit­ment. A pri­or pro­fes­sion­al en­gage­ment cre­at­ed a time con­straint for the artiste, caus­ing him to per­form on­ly at the se­mi-fi­nal stage at the Ari­ma Velo­drome for the Groovy seg­ment of the show. Ahead of his ap­pear­ance at the So­ca Monarch semis, though, Shur­wayne and YOU cre­at­ed a whirl­wind of ex­cite­ment at Yorke's an­nu­al All-In­clu­sive fete.

The band­leader and his unit brought the crowd to a state of eu­pho­ria. The band com­mand­ed fete lovers, with Shur­wayne di­rect­ing the heav­i­ly en­gaged crowd to move to the left and right with the hit sin­gle Lone­ly Road–the track he would have per­formed for the judges of the Pow­er Monarch com­pe­ti­tion. De­spite this un­fore­seen sit­u­a­tion, Shur­wayne re­mains fo­cused on the rest of the car­ni­val sea­son. Shur­wayne and his 13-month-old band, YOU plan on do­ing ex­ten­sive so­ca dam­age at WASA Fete to­mor­row and at fetes like Wicked In White, In­som­nia, Army Fete, Brass�The Re­birth, and many oth­ers across the coun­try in the buildup to the Great­est Show on Earth.
